December is here and it is the most wonderful time of the year. To celebrate this holiday season, I am planning to post some yummy treats. To begin with I am sharing a no-bake caramilk balls. We can make these balls with just a few ingredients and it keeps well in the refrigerator for a week. You can easily modify this recipe as per your sweet and flavour preference.
Ingredients:(I halved the below recipe and got around 20 balls)Cadbury Caramilk Chocolate - 1(180 gms block)
Plain Biscuit(Marie/Arrow root/digestive) - 250 grams
Desiccated Coconut - 1 Cup(~100 grams)
Sweetened Condensed Milk - 395 grams tin(adjust as per sweet preference)
Extra dessicated coconut for coating the balls
Method:
1. Break the caramilk into small chunks and place it in a bowl. Melt it either in the microwave or by double boiler method. I followed the double boiler method and melted the chocolate. See the notes section if you are unsure of this method.
3. Transfer the crumbed biscuits to a mixing bowl. Along with this add the melted caramilk, condensed milk and coconut. Mix it all together until everything is well combined. The mixture will be sticky and this is normal.
4. Scoop up the mixture and shape it into small balls. Roll it in the extra coconut and repeat until all of the mixture is finished. Place the balls into the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
Serve the addictive snowballs after an hour of chilling.
Points to remember
- If you are not able to make balls, just chill it for 30 mins before making it to balls.
- Any type of plain biscuit can be used and I personally prefer Marie or arrowroot biscuits.
- If you couldn't find cadbury caramilk in your local shops, you can replace it with any melted chocolate of your choice.
- Add condensed milk little by little and taste check to ensure the prefered sweet level. You need not follow the exact measurements and adjust it as per your preference.
- You can ignore the desiccated coconut if you don't prefer the coconut flavour.
- Double boiler method for melting chocolate: Fill the bottom pot with one or two inches of water. Next, add in the top bowl with chocolate and turn on your burner to a simmer. As the water heats up and steam is released, the steam stays trapped between the two pots, which then melts the chocolate in the top pot.
